Prenatal exposure to air pollution and the risk of preterm birth in rural population of Henan Province

Guoyu Zhou et al.

Summary: The study found that exposure to air pollutants (such as PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, and CO) in rural areas increases the risk of preterm birth, especially in the third trimester of pregnancy. NO2 was identified as the largest contributor to the risk of preterm birth caused by air pollutants, and rural women who are younger, more educated, have had multiple births, or smoke are more sensitive to the effects of air pollutants exposure.

Associations between wildfire smoke exposure during pregnancy and risk of preterm birth in California

Sam Heft-Neal et al.

Summary: Limited evidence exists on the impact of wildfire smoke exposure during pregnancy on birth outcomes. This study found that each additional day of exposure to wildfire smoke during pregnancy was associated with a 0.49% increase in the risk of preterm birth. The effects were stronger with exposure later in pregnancy and driven by high intensity smoke exposure.

A Prospective Cohort Study of Seasonal Variation in Spontaneous Abortion

Amelia K. Wesselink et al.

Summary: The study found that environmental or lifestyle factors more prevalent in late summer may be associated with an increased risk of early spontaneous abortion. This conclusion was based on the analysis of data from the Pregnancy Study Online, a preconception cohort study of pregnancy planners from the United States and Canada, who reported the month and gestational week of their pregnancies.

Educational note: addressing special cases of bias that frequently occur in perinatal epidemiology

Andreas M. Neophytou et al.

Summary: The epidemiologic study of pregnancy and birth outcomes faces unique challenges such as cohort attrition, multifactorial adverse outcomes, and various biases. Researchers studying perinatal outcomes need to be aware of these potential pitfalls and address their implications when formulating questions, choosing analysis approaches, and interpreting findings.

Wildfire exposure during pregnancy and the risk of adverse birth outcomes: A systematic review

Sana Amjad et al.

Summary: The evidence suggests that maternal wildfire exposure during late pregnancy is associated with reduced birth weight and preterm birth. However, the association between wildfire exposure and small for gestational age as well as infant mortality remains inconclusive. Well-designed comprehensive studies are needed to further understand the perinatal effects of wildfires.

Long-term impact of ambient air pollution on preterm birth in Xuzhou, China: a time series study

Sha Li et al.

Summary: The study found that PM2.5, PM10, SO2, and NO2 significantly increased the risk of preterm birth, with susceptibility windows during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Every 10 μg/m³ increase in these pollutants showed a corresponding increase in the relative risk of preterm birth. The study also demonstrated that there was no significant impact of O-3 and CO on preterm birth, and subgroup analysis indicated higher risk for younger pregnant women and during warmer seasons.
